To celebrate National Nursing Home Week, several nursing homes around the county are holding a variety of events for their residents and their families. Among those celebrating are the Lyons Health and Living Center. On Monday afternoon, the Lyons Health and Living Center held a balloon launch to kick off the National Nursing Home Week. The residents also showed their spirit by dressing in mismatched clothing for "Manic Monday."
